It wasn’t a complete invasion, but busloads of Philadelphia fans were among the 24,875 at Nationals Park Thursday night to see Cliff Lee and Jordan Zimmermann go at it in the final game of the Nationals’ series vs. the Phillies.

The notorious boo-birds have earned a reputation for importing disruptive behavior to Nationals Park, and Thursday night was no exception, as the local MASN broadcast caught a spectator reaching into the field of play during the fourth-inning presidents race.

The fan appears to be reaching for a high five, then cocks his arm and slams Thomas Jefferson squarely in the face:

The fan wasn’t wearing team gear, but can there be any doubt where he’s from? UPDATE: We’re told that Nationals Park security “swarmed” him and immediately ejected him from the park.

After getting hit, Jefferson spun around but maintained his balance. Teddy Roosevelt was nearly able to take advantage and grab the victory, but he was outpaced by Abraham Lincoln in the stretch.

Yeah, there can be a doubt. You don’t know if they were a Phillies fan, they had no team stuff on. So don’t make assumptions unless you know for sure. For all we know it could be someone who’s rooting for the Nats or someone who doesn’t care about who’s playing.

Nowhere in any of those photos or videos does it show that guy next to three phillies fans. At least come up with real evidence to support your cheap shots at Philly phans…. If you want to see classless fans, go to the Verizon center and check out how caps fans behave… They were chucking beer bottles at Jeff Carter After game 7 a few years back….

You guys are ridiculous. I have seen all kinds of fans, including Nats fans try to hit and hit the Presidents before. They do it during pictures with them, or as they are walking by. So because the Phillies happen to be in town when this happens it must be a Phillies fan right? I guess that is a safe bet since there are always more Phillies fans then Nats fans at those games. you know what they say when you assume things.

Hey chief we never had our owner going on radio BEGGING opposing fans to come to Philly…. Do nats fans EVER make uP the majority of the fans in their own ballpark? Also 2006-2007 flyers have their worst season in franchise history and STILL had a full arena that year. Show me an example of caps fans going during tough times.

Save your breath, his is typical Philly logic (10,000+ losses will do that). Give it time. Everyone has cellphone video, something will be posted. Even then you know Philly Phan will whine “he wasn’t wearing a Phillies jersey there’s no proof boohoohoo.”

DC Kalas Removal Machine?
You want to talk about being classless? You’re making fun of a legend dying in your stadium. HarryKalas is 50 times the man Bob Carpenter and that other joke of a Nats announcer could ever be!

Don’t go calling Philly fans jerks while being a complete jerk at the same time. Its called hypocrisy.

Making fun of 10,000 losses? Once again, this thing called hypocrisy. Speak to me when you guys have a winning season.

You see you go and call us classless and then you go and trash a legend like that. Please keep in mind that you guys employed Dibble, one of the biggest douches to ever announce a game. Theres a reason Harry Kalas will go into the broadcasters hall of fame, something that will never happen with that stiff Bob Carpenter. Harry Kalas also was the narrator for NFL Films. What outside work did Carpenter do?

I’m not going to say anything bad about Kalas, but for what it’s worth, “that stiff” Carpenter called baseball for 15 years on ESPN, has won 2 Emmys, and designed the definitive baseball broadcaster scorebooks that are used in most press boxes today (and by MLB scouts).

My name good sir can finally be revealed, for I am Thomas Jefferson. Beat me “within inches of my life” if you must, but please do not kiss me while doing so. The concept of a city of Brotherly Love is a frightening thing to a man of peace and freedom such as myself. Now if you will excuse me I have to grow hemp and and write important papers.
